I think you should include this change in your patch, or as a preparation.
All other samsung platforms already select COMMON_CLK through ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM,
and all SoCs that are part of ARCH_S3C24XX individually select a symbol that
selects COMMON_CLK.

Oops, I didn't notice there are warnings after moving these Kconfigs
into menu section.

The original motivation of this patch is preventing new clk drivers
include their Kconfig in a wrong place, so it's not critical. Do you
think we should apply this patch (with your changes below) or drop this
patch directly?

I think your patch is good, we just need to fix S3C24xx, which is doing
things in a strange way for historic reasons.

So far we've taken the approach of not caring if they include
their Kconfig outside the common clk menu when all the configs
inside the Kconfig file are hidden. Of course, when they aren't
hidden this becomes a problem, but that isn't the case unless
something changed recently.
